AmigaOne is out of my budget league

[lassie]

AmigaOne X1000 is sold for 1,846.78 GBP or 2,269.62 EUR in AmigaKit. Isn't this a little bit too high for a computer?

Does this apply again to the very little market toward it kinda thing? I mean it cost $2973.05 US. With that price I can get the top of a line latest up to date gaming laptop!!

What, are an AmigaOne so pricey? That is quite some money, it sure must can do a lot of things.

[lassie]

Ssshhh...... ..no need to shout.

Yes you are right But are that a normal price? almost 3000 dollars for an AmigaOne?

[lassie]

If i recall correctly AmigaClassicRule has serious eye problems.

Maybe he has lost his glasses

[lassie]

Maybe so, but 3k for an Amiga is a little overkill. I mean call me crazy, but I am willing to pay 5K if it have the same amount of developers and software library as Linux community...and I am serious too. But since that is not the case...3K is too much.

I will take an Amiga 3000T to 1000 dollars instead if it was me. I have seen them in that price range.

[lassie]

So you will buy an Amiga 3000 T over AOne?

Yes maybe it is because i have always wanted an Amiga 3000T. Some say Commodore was at there prime when they released it, and it looks quite nice too, and there are not to many of them around. So it is a collector item.

[lassie]

A3000T is sexy, no objection there. Go for it. :biglaugh:

Yes but i will have to save up for it first

Actually I am wearing glasses. But that font was not intentionally, it is result of copying and pasting price from XE currency converter website that did affect the font. However, let us return back to topic in hands.

It was only meant to be a joke, that maybe you had lost your glasses. I use glasses myself.

What Amigas do you have now?

[lassie]

Perhaps you should re-read my posts as I have no idea whatsoever as to the reason why you would ask me such a question. But, I'll still answer it anyway.

No, of course not, Sam's and X1000's do that.

In the days of the £1800 486 I bought an Amiga 1200 (I still have the very same A1200 now) and my 486 is long gone. My whole point in the first place was yes, it is very expensive, however, years ago I was willing to pay that sort of cash for a 486 because it did something I desired. Nowadays the X1000 costs £1800 to do something I desire. What's the difference? The fact that now I can buy a cheap PC is irrelevant, they can't run OS4. So to sum up:

Past: 486 runs DOOM and costs £1800, A1200 costs £300 and does not: I bought both because I had the cash.

Now: X1000 runs OS4 and costs £1800, PC costs £300 and does not: I got the PC because I don't have the cash but when I do I'll gladly buy an X1000 too (in the meantime I've still got 5 classic Amigas to play with anyway).

What 5 classic Amiga do you have

[lassie]

Well, I can't yet afford one (x1000) but I want one; once I got deep into OS 4.1 on my Classic I really wanted to see what a new machine would do with it.

[As follow up on price, if someone wanted to buy one of my two A4000T's then it would cost them far more than the cost of an x1000]

What does an Amiga 4000T cost?? I have seen 3000T to around 1000 dollars with 040 CPU and Hard disk etc.
